In the latest episode of Hitting the Hardwood, Mitchell Hansen is joined by Alexa PhilIppou, who covers women's basketball for ESPN.

Hansen and Philippou open up the podcast by talking about WNBA free agency and how things will pick up around the league soon, also touching on the reason why we could see short-term contracts signed this offseason in anticipation for the new CBA in the coming year. They then discuss the start of Unrivaled and what that league will do for the exposure and excitement of the WNBA and women's basketball, concluding the podcast talking about the current state of women's basketball and how interest in the game can only increase moving forward.
